Used to have a season ticket behind him in the upper Holte. Genuinely decent man.

He's a weirdo, but a bloody good violinist, really interesting musician, and a Villa fan which is the highest compliment you can pay a human being, of course.

Good interview that. I met him down at QPR a couple of season's ago, he was a really nice fella.

Fruitcake, probably,, absolute genius, no shadow of doubt, his Four Seasons echoes through Venice with pictures of Nigel in Villa scarf. Cameron claims to be a fan, Nigel shouts loyalty. great bloke, magnificent violinist who shows children that classical music is not some posh out of touch world.

I read it and couldn't get the thought of Ben Elton doing his youth TV presenter out of my head. Be honest, if he wasn't a Villa supporter most on here would think he's a bit of a dick!

Met him at Fulham away last season.
He was very happy to talk to all and sundry, even low-lifes like me!!! ;-)

Top man and I might even watch the last night because of him.

Wonder if he'll finish with "The bells are ringing, for the claret and blue..."?

This is it for me - I've met him twice at Villa matches, what a lovely human being.
